Crowsnest Hall

The sense of community is the best part of living in Crowsnest Hall. There are many student groups working tirelessly to promote a community among the hundreds of graduate students who live in Crowsnest Hall. There are always community-building events — everything from cultural events, to board game nights, to public speaking workshops, to squash tournaments.

Crowsnest Hall and Family Housing offer ample opportunities to meet people and be welcomed into Calgary, especially if you are new to this city.

Family residence

The Family Housing community is a specially designed community residence available to those living with their spouse/common-law partner, with/without children and single parents.

We offer grad students with families a built-in community that includes 250 unfurnished townhouses, pairing the convenience of living on campus with the benefit of a number of amenities nearby such as hospital services, public transit and shopping centres. The university also has a residence life program which has planned activities for children and families.
